Bike Cleaner

7 / 10

This might sound obvious, but a clean bike might well be the most pro thing you can own. And no, this isn’t just so you look good at the trailhead. “Take care of your equipment and it will take care of you,” says Todd Wells. You can use soapy water (Dawn dish detergent works well) or pay a little extra for a specialized bike cleaner that will leave your frame sparkling and your drivetrain free of grit and grime. Muc-Off’s Bike Cleaner is biodegradable and contains no harmful acids. Just remember you’re washing a bike, not a back deck, so skip the high-powered pressure washer, and use a gently flowing garden hose.
